High Street Kensington Farmers' Market
High Street Kensington Farmers' Market brings West London's growers and producers to the shady, tree-lined setting of Phillimore Walk, just off Kensington High Street. Run by London Farmers' Markets and open since September 2020, it gathers small farms and artisan makers from within reach of the capital for a relaxed Sunday food shop. The stalls change week to week with the seasons, so there is always a reason to come back, and the market trades every Sunday rain or shine. It is a genuine producer market rather than a street-food fair, focused on fresh, traceable food you can take home and cook.
Opening times
The market is open every Sunday from 10am to 2pm, all year round and in any weather. Mornings are the best time to arrive if you want the widest choice, as popular producers and fresh bread can sell out before closing. Bear in mind that not every producer attends every week, so the line-up shifts from Sunday to Sunday.
What's on the stalls
Expect a real spread of seasonal British produce: freshly caught fish and shellfish, fruit and vegetables, free-range and organic eggs, poultry, meat and game in season, plus pies, fresh bread, cheese and dairy. You will also find preserves, baked goods, drinks, cut flowers and garden plants from London-area farms and makers. Most stalls take card payments, though a few traders are cash only.
Around the market / getting there
The market sits on Phillimore Walk beside Kensington Town Hall, a short walk from High Street Kensington Underground station on the Circle and District lines. Free on-street parking is available nearby on a Sunday. Pair a visit with a wander down Kensington High Street, a stroll in Holland Park, or the nearby Design Museum.
